Sankirtan and Tapasya
Udayananda Dasa: In a class in Chicago in 1975, Prabhupada talked about how Visvamitra Muni had performed heavy tapasya for 60,000 years. Then he talked about sankirtan and book distribution and he said, "You can get the same benefit of this tapasya on a few days of sankirtan." A few days of sankirtan are the equivalent of 60,000 years of tapasya by Visvamitra Muni! Everyone said, "Haribol!" After that there was a big installation of four sets of Gaura-Nitai Deities, one for each of the four buses. Srila Prabhupada's mercy was to give us this great process.
